Officers arrest women for ramming vehicles; daily incident report

Boise Police were called shortly after
2:00 this morning by a citizen reporting he was sitting at his
computer when he heard a loud crash like a vehicle collision out
side his home near W. Ustick and N. Cloverdale Roads. He told
officers he heard two more crashes immediately following the first
and called 911 reporting a hit and run. When officers arrived, they
found considerable damage to three vehicles that parked on the
street in front of the home, including one vehicle that had been
pushed into the middle of the road. All three belonged to the
calling party's (the victim's) family. In addition to the damaged
vehicles, officers also found broken pieces belonging to a 2006
Hundai Elantra. The victim told officers the Hundai likely belonged
to an acquaintance. The victim reported an ongoing dispute with the
owner of the Hundai. Neither the Hundai nor the Hundai owner were
on scene.

Officers began searching for the Hundai
as a possible suspect vehicle. Instead they found the Hundai owner,
identified as Rogers, walking down W. Ustick. Officers had had
contact with Rogers on previous occasions and recognized her as the
owner of the Hundai. After speaking with the suspect, officers
found evidence she had been the driver of the Hundai when she
intentionally crashed it into the three parked cars, causing an
estimated $8,500 in damage. Rogers was arrested on a felony
vandalism charge. Officers soon found the damaged Hundai parked a
short distance away.

Arrested: Darrell W. Jackson, 51, Boise
Charged: Burglary (F)

Boise Police were contacted by employees
of a retail store on the 8100 blk of W. Fairview Ave Saturday, July
23rd. Officers investigated and found evidence the suspect, later
identified as Jackson, had entered the store twice that day and
each time walked out with an item from the electronics department
without paying. The second time, the suspect was followed outside
by a store employee who tried to contact Jackson. Instead, the
suspect got in his car and, according to witnesses, drove directly
at the store employee who had to jump to get out of the way and
avoid being hit. Witnesses were about to give a description of the
suspect and suspect vehicle to officers.
On Tuesday, July 27th, a Boise Police officer on patrol located the
suspect vehicle in an apartment cmplex of N. Maple Grove Rd and
Northview St. The officer saw the suspect leave his apartment and
walk to his car. He was arrested on the above charges. The
officer's reports have been forwarded to prosecutors. Additional
charges may be pending.
